Watch Out–It’s Going To Be Warm This Week!

Well that did not take long then!
The government has issued its first warning under a new system designed to alert people to the dangers of heatwaves.
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) and the Met Office have issued the first heat-health alert in six regions: London, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, South East and South West.
It will be in place from 9am on Friday until Monday morning.
Dr Agostinho Sousa of the UKHSA said: "In the coming days we are likely to experience our first sustained period of hot weather of the year so far, so it’s important that everyone ensures they keep hydrated and cool while enjoying the sun."

So the time of year when mortality rates are at their lowest is also the time for the nannies at the UKHSA, along with the fraudsters at the Met Office, to start issuing warnings about a bit of sunny weather!
Will they be telling us to put our gilets on when the temperatures dip again?
And the cause of all this hullaballoo?
Temperatures in the mid 20s, if you are lucky!
It is time to defund the Met Office, and reorganise it into what it used to be – an apolitical body set up to provide meteorological information to the public.

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT 
‘It is time to defund the Met Office, and reorganise it into what it used to be’
Amen. Any mention of “climate” should be a discharge offense.
New motto: Just weather™.
Shock, Horror, Really Red Warning its going to be 25C over the weekend, Take Care, Danger…totally failing to mention severe cold in Australia and Southern Hemisphere, the met office treats us as idiots.
The Met Office is totally aware that there are an awful lot of ignorant green idiots out there, particularly in the media.
25 degrees Celsius is about the minimum temperature to avoid having to wear pullovers and coats / jackets all the time
As an ‘antidote’ to the Warmist nonsense, look at the site “electroverse.info”. And see how the COLD side of weather is going!
We have had word inflation and now it anything and everything, hyping normality as abnormal. Do they not realize the effect this propaganda has on children’s mental health? Children believe what ADULTS are telling them. It is time that deliberate, unsubstantiated fear mongering in earshot or eyeshot of children became a criminal offence as it is child abuse pure and simple.
And then we witness the shear effrontery of the BBC who will do a piece on children needing counselling……….. because of the very lies they themselves have promulgated.Are these people so asinine or are they so politically charged that “harm” caused in a noble cause is not real harm
BBC would have got Savile or Harris to do the counselling a few years back.
So 25C is a heatwave! Just a pleasantly warm day in most other countries
It only what lots of people heat their houses to. Best all front doors have warning notices ‘warm temps within – beware!’
The State’s desire to push its way into every aspect of our lives is becoming intolerable. A few warm days, that’s all. Calm down.
They are not even particularly warm. Over forty maybe, but certainly not low to mid twenties.
And don’t forget those countries where it is over forty most of the year, but those people don’t panic
>>a few warm days
I believe it’s 40C in central France right now. We never get temperatures like that.
Not in Europe, but it has only just reached 25 degrees Celsius so that I don’t need to wear a pullover.
No it’s 26 here in SW France at 4 pm. But we do get Willis’s thunderstorms all this week!
Oh no.! Heap big warmy, warmy cumming. Be frighten…be very frighten. Man frum de wevver he say we die if we no pay de fee to the Gods of de emmo!
FFS these nutters needs putting down.
Re the southern hemisphere weather.
I have a couple of friend over from NZ at present, one declared today that the weather they had experienced this last week or so during which they had done a whistle stop tour of the UK for old times sake (kent, northumberland, wales) had been the best they had seen for over a year, apparently they had a really poor summer and of course now its the middle of winter down there they have experienced worse than usual weather including lower temperatures and bad flooding.
What are we not being told?
I have taken to reading the thermometer on my patio each morning, it has recently been as low as 9c and only now has crept up to 11/12c. weather eh,🙄.
In Adelaide (& the Hills were I live) we have had a quite cool summer followed by lots of rain in autumn. Yesterday we had hail (quite rare) and very heavy rain during thunderstorms. Haven’t checked but might be 40 mm.
climate certainly changes!
Weather changes; climate doesn’t. It’s what makes climate useful.
Spell of fabulous weather here in the South West of Ireland for the last 10 days or so between 19°C and 24°C during the day, low humidity, a fresh easterly breeze and cool single figure nights. Well earned and welcome after a long, long winter.
Greeted by the usual suspects here like the arrival of the four horsemen of the apocalypse!!
Here in the South Island of New Zealand we are having sunny but cold weather at the moment, we missed the cyclones and monsoon rains that Auckland and the north enjoyed. Here winters can be bone chillingly cold if you live in the Otago interior and summers are usually very hot, up to the mid 30s.but on the coast it is more temperate. I notice that very few water pipes supplying the houses are underground, but they never seem to freeze. Everyone just accepts the weather as it comes and dresses accordingly.
As far as the constant hysterical messaging is concerned I remember with nostalgia the measured tones of John Snagge and Alvar Liddel reading the news at 6 oclock, so very reassuring , even when the news was bad.
Oh my 25 degrees C, get the hospital beds ready. I am living and working in Tete, Mozambique, mining COAL incidentally and 25 is a nice evening temp in winter. 36 daytime is the norm.
Warm is not a heat wave.
Otherwise, if out where it is both sunny and windy there are mitigations easily made. One, a refrigerated neck and shoulder bag — peas work if you want to make one. Second are spray bottles with pure water. Third, set up a fine-spray misting kit around your deck or patio.
26°C hardly warrants the trouble.
They are getting the people softened up for lockdowns under quasi-martial law. They genuinely believe that temperatures will be 40-50 C in ten years. As that excuse for tyranny will not materialize, all the hype will gradually fade. They can ‘cry wolf’ but if Nature does not oblige they fail to stampede the sheep. Witness the ‘monkey pox’ scare they pushed six months ago and the ‘deadly new Omicron variant’ scare they pushed three months ago. Nothing happened and so no new regulations.
Of course, the renewed Omicron nonsense did help a little in getting 3-4 million old people to take yet another armful of you know what.
This is a scandal. If you go back to the 1970s official guidance from the Met Office defined a heatwave as occasions when the temperature exceeded 30c for three days. Roll forward to about a decade ago and they reduced the threshold to 28-29c being reached – depending on which part of the country. Now are they saying 25-26c!!! Back a couple of decades and their official definition of terms would have merely called that ‘warm’.
It’s amazing isn’t it that as its got supposedly hotter, the thresholds for “hot” have got lower.
So you are going to have a warm wave. Video at 11.
Mining coal! My hero!
Sixteen tonnes a day and whaddya get?
Well, fired actually, because the company gave you a nice digger which takes that much in one scoop.
Ah, the UKHSA formerly known as the disgraced Public Health England which made such a Horlicks of the PPE policy during COVID. It will of course be stuffed full of establishment types whose mission is to nanny us all into fearing for our lives.
I’m off for a cycle ride in this fabulous weather thank you.
Thank goodness for that. Perhaps the tourists will stay at home instead of coming to Spain and basking on the beach in 30 degrees of sun.
This comes in the same week when I have donned a winter sweater, anorak and woolly hat whilst working outdoors in the early morning. Strange, I must have missed any cold warnings from the BBC/Met Office.
Here in Edinburgh, despite the fact that it Is June and the past three weeks build up of “you’re all going to fry” warnings in the media, promoted by the woke, useless Met Office, the temperature has not got above 15c, cooled significantly by a bitter easterly. Yet, masses of people are about in staple tops and shorts because the believe what they are told and ignore the empirical fact.
The Met Office should be at least repurposed to what it was 60 years ago or scrapped altogether and its funding be used to reduce taxation. It is unfit for purpose.
Yes a bit of sun, even though only 15C, and they are out in their strappy tops, shorts and tattoos
The MET Office should come with a health warning:
May contain Nuts.
Very good.
I’m going to use that!
Fill yer boots….😁
Over the last month. perhaps a little longer, while the weather charts on our TVs show comfortable temperatures, either referred to as average or above. The lived-in temperature, however, has been two to three degrees cooler and you can verify that on the Met Offices own app. The North Easterly has dominated and as many a commentator here verifies we are all reduced to bubble jackets and jumpers. The immediate untruth is self-evident, the legacy is that the these high temperature estimates will become those of record and further distort the lived experience.
GB News uses the Met Office for the forecast. They seem to have more presenters than GBN has newsreaders.
The South of England Shows starts tomorrow so I have been watching the forecasts for the last week and, of course, finding that every day they change. Going on Saturday is a must as that is the day they do the scurry racing – a sort of off-road sidecar type racing with ponies – leaving tomorrow or Sunday as a second day. Sunday has some showers and possible thunderstorms – see what a bit of warm weather does. Tomorrow looks best, dry, sunny reaching 75f and then a heady 80f on Saturday.
Plenty of suggestions as to what to do with the Met Office, and what to do with Defra and what to with the Climate Change Committee, but with MPs with no spunk we shall just have to sit and an accept the lousy organisations.
This Wikipedia article highlights the microclimate created by walled gardens – a feature often employed in cooler climes with Scotland noted.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walled_garden
Now obviously temperatures recorded in a walled garden would not reflect the natural surrounding area nor anything remotely concerned with climate change.
The Met Office clearly know this and they would never use such a site for climate recording purposes….would they?
Well actually the alleged Scottish record temperature was recorded at Floors Castle WALLED Gardens in 2020.
You could not make this up – they actually own up to this site being a Met Office official one.
And this
https://news.stv.tv/scotland/hottest-day-in-scotland-officially-recorded-as-temperatures-reach-35-1c-at-floors-castle
The Met Office is clearly corrupt.
“Obviously as you open up the box and let in the outside air the temperature changes.”
Hilarious.
Actually I spoke to that woman at Floors Castle, three years ago, about the site (which is in an OK position). She is just a gardener. It is one of her chores to write the measurements down.
The midges were uncountable at the entrance gate. Funnily enough, there were none in the garden. But the science is settled for everything, so I am sure there is a good explanation for it.
The ITV national weather forecast used the phrase “dangerous heat” .
Five points from my research team on how to cope with very hot weather:
Do NOT wear more than TWO fur coats from Midday
Do NOT smear yourself in lard or beef dripping while sunbathing
Remember: water is preferable to neat Scotch for purposes of hydration
Go indoors IMMEDIATELY if your skin begins to explode or smoke
Put Granny in the freezer – or a bath of ice-cold water. Check on her occasionally
